DJI Mavic 4 Pro Review: My First 7 Days

My DJI Mavic 4 Pro review after my first 7 days of actually flying it. I've spent the last week putting the DJI Mavic 4 Pro through real-world use around Salisbury, Southampton and the Dorset coast, including strong winds, sunrises, sunsets and even a very foggy morning at Stonehenge. Rather than going through every specification, this video is about what I've actually learned from using the Mavic 4 Pro: image quality, battery life, wind performance, ND filters, the three-camera system and where it now fits alongside my DJI Mini 5 Pro. One of the biggest surprises has been the 168mm telephoto camera. I expected it to be useful occasionally, but the compression and completely different perspective it offers have quickly made it one of my favourite features of the drone. I also talk about why I bought the Mavic 4 Pro, using it under my A2 CofC, what I've learned from flying it in real-world conditions, some of the frustrations I've found, and whether I think it was worth spending around £3,200 on the Creator Combo. This isn't intended to be an exhaustive technical review. It's my experience after seven days of using the Mavic 4 Pro as a working filmmaker for aerial filmmaking, photography, stock footage and content creation.
